Ezekyèl 2
1 Li te di mwen: “Fis a lòm, kanpe sou pye ou pou m ka pale avèk ou!”
This was the vision of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And I saw, and I fell on my face, and I heard the voice of someone speaking. And he said to me: “Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you.”
2 Pandan Li t ap pale ak mwen an, Lespri a te antre nan mwen. Li te mete mwen sou pye mwen, epi mwen te tande Li pale ak mwen.
And after this was spoken to me, the Spirit entered into me, and he set me on my feet. And I heard him speaking to me,
3 Li te di m: “Fis a lòm, Mwen ap voye ou kote fis Israël yo, a yon pèp rebèl ki te fè rebèl kont Mwen. Yo menm ak papa zansèt yo te transgrese kont Mwen jis rive jodi a.
and saying: “Son of man, I am sending you to the sons of Israel, to an apostate nation, which has withdrawn from me. They and their fathers have betrayed my covenant, even to this day.
4 M ap voye ou kote sila yo ki angran, ki gen tèt di. Ou va di yo: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a.’
And those to whom I am sending you are sons with a hard face and an unyielding heart. And you shall say to them: ‘Thus says the Lord God.’
5 Pou yo menm, menm si yo koute oswa pa koute—paske se kay rebèl ke yo ye—yo va konnen ke yon pwofèt te pami yo.
Perhaps it may be that they will hear, and perhaps they may be quieted. For they are a provoking house. And they shall know that there has been a prophet in their midst.
6 Epi ou menm, fis a lòm, pa krent yo ni krent pawòl yo, malgre pikan ak zepin avèk ou, e malgre ou chita pami eskòpyon yo. Ni pa krent pawòl yo, ni twouble nan prezans yo, paske se yon kay rebèl ke yo ye.
But as for you, son of man, you should not fear them, and you should not dread their words. For you are among unbelievers and subversives, and you are living with scorpions. You should not fear their words, and you should not dread their faces. For they are a provoking house.
7 Men ou va pale pawòl Mwen yo avèk yo, menm si yo koute oswa yo pa koute, paske se rebèl yo ye.
Therefore, you shall speak my words to them, so that perhaps they may hear and be quieted. For they are provoking.
8 Alò, ou menm, fis a lòm, koute sa ke M ap pale ou a. Pa vin fè rebèl tankou kay rebèl sila a. Ouvri bouch ou pou manje sa ke M ap bay ou a.”
But as for you, son of man, listen to all that I say to you. And do not choose to be provoking, as that house is a provoker. Open your mouth, and eat whatever I give to you.”
9 Konsa, mwen te gade e gade byen, yon men te lonje vè mwen menm. Epi alò, yon woulo liv te ladann.
And I looked, and behold: a hand was put forth toward me; there was a scroll rolled up in it.
10 Lè L te louvri li devan mwen, li te ekri ni pa devan ni pa dèyè, e ekri sou li, se te lamantasyon, doulè ak mizè.
And he spread it out before me, and there was writing on the inside and on the outside. And there were written in it lamentations, and verses, and woes.
